Introduction
Infiniti, the luxury vehicle division of Nissan, has faced several recalls in 2024 due to various mechanical issues. For Californians, particularly those in areas like Fresno and the Central Valley, understanding these recalls is crucial for ensuring safety and leveraging legal protections. This post examines recent Infiniti vehicle recalls, common defects, and how a lemon law attorney can help you win your case under California’s Lemon Law.
Recent Recalls and Defects in Infiniti Vehicles
Fuel Pump Failures
Infiniti has recalled models such as the 2021-2023 Q50, Q60, QX50, and QX60 due to fuel pump issues. The fuel pump impellers can deform under certain conditions, leading to stalling and potential crash risks. Owners are advised to contact their dealers for free inspections and necessary repairs (Top Class Actions).
Headlight Issues in QX60
Infiniti has recalled the 2022-2024 QX60 due to incorrectly adjusted headlights. The Adaptive Front-Light System (AFS) may not be aimed correctly, reducing visibility at night and increasing the risk of accidents. Dealers will adjust the headlights free of charge (Top Class Actions).
Transmission Problems in QX60
The 2023-2024 Infiniti QX60 models have been recalled due to transmission issues. Problems with the transmission control module can cause rough shifting and transmission failure, increasing the risk of accidents. Infiniti will update the transmission control module software to fix the issue (Top Class Actions).
Airbag Deployment Issues
Infiniti has also recalled models including the 2018-2019 QX30 and QX50 due to defective airbag inflators. These inflators may rupture or underinflate during deployment, posing a significant risk of injury or death. Owners should have their vehicles inspected and the inflators replaced (Top Class Actions).
How a Lemon Lawyer Can Assist
Understanding California’s Lemon Law
California’s Lemon Law, part of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, protects consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles. If your Infiniti has significant defects that impair its use, safety, or value, and these issues persist after multiple repair attempts, you may be entitled to a replacement or refund.
The Role of a Lemon Lawyer
A lemon lawyer, also known as a lemon law attorney, specializes in consumer protection laws and can help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Here’s how they can assist:
- Case Assessment: Determining if your Infiniti qualifies under the Lemon Law.
- Documentation: Assisting in gathering all necessary documents, such as repair records and warranties.
- Negotiation: Communicating with Infiniti on your behalf to seek a fair resolution.
- Litigation: Representing you in court if a settlement isn’t reached.
